Dedicated New
York Employment Lawyers Protect Workers From
Hostile Work Environments

Safeguarding
employee safety and well-being

Everyone
deserves respect and peace of mind while at
work. When you are hired to perform a job
for an employer, there is an expectation
that the working environment will be free of
harassment of any kind. Unfortunately, too
many employers allow, and at times even
promote, hostile work environments that
employees must endure. Employees often feel
trapped and fearful. The New York employment
law attorneys at the law firm of
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth represent
victims suffering in hostile work
environments. We take legal action against
employers to recover the compensation you
deserve. If you are being harassed at work,
do not sit in silence—contact our employment
attorneys today for compassionate,
confidential guidance.

What is
considered a hostile work environment in New
York?

There are
many ways that a hostile work environment
can manifest itself. Widespread offensive
conduct in the workplace is never
acceptable. New York law makes it illegal
for companies to allow or engage in such
conduct because it is an unfair abuse of
power over employees. The main components to
having a viable lawsuit against an employer
for a hostile work environment are that the
conduct must be offensive, severe and
pervasive. Generally, a single isolated
incident or comment would not be enough to
justify a hostile work environment claim.
Our New York City
hostile work environment lawyers help
you decide whether pursuing legal action
against your employer is in your best
interest. We help you put an end to the
harassment.

The most
common ways that people experience a hostile
work environment include pervasive

Race

Sex

Disability

Sexual
Orientation
